Bardney Lock

Highlight • Bridge

Bardney Lock is a rural mooring location situated on the River Witham approximately 11 miles to the east of Lincoln in Lincolnshire.

The River Witham flows through quiet, flat Lincolnshire countryside, and is very peaceful and remote for much of its length. Marshy fenlands stretch out for miles on either side, giving a real sense of space – and the sunsets can be spectacular.
